Hair Colour London
ColourNation London Hairdressers has 10 years experience as one of the Best Hair Colour Specialist Salons in London ..and probably the world. Our clients travel to us from across the Globe for our colour expertise and we benefit from client referrals from some of London's leading salons when hair colours are just too challenging for a normal salon.
"Really, really good. I had been told by over 5 salons in London that the colour was not achievable so thank you!" - Natasha- Lancashire
At ColourNation London Hairdressers we're only happy if you're happy. We take time to listen to what you want before we begin any service. We encourage you to bring pictures of your perfect hair colour and we'll match it.
While we have thousands of customer reviews which testify to our ability - we know it's how we perform for your hair colour which is important. We recognise that with a name like ColourNation we have set the bar very high for customer expectation and it is our challenge to constant exceed that expectation with the hair colours we deliver.
Choosing your Colourist.
All our stylist are also top colourists - we insist the hairstyle and colour be developed for you in tandem and believe that only by having the same stylist deliver both can we ensure exceptional service. The amount of hair colours we produce as a salon means that we learn very quickly.. and never stop learning how to produce amazing hair colour for our clients. Each day brings new challenges and opportunities to learn and develop. As one of Wella's top accounts in London we get specialist training and support on a regular basis to ensure our skills are always cutting edge. We have four levels of stylists/colourists to suit most budgets, obviously our Graduate Stylists will have many years less experience that our Style Consultants but even our Graduates are very capable of tackling most colours. The more challenging the colour the more senior stylist you should choose for the colour. Read the bio's of our team and their recent client reviews here to choose your colourist.
Hair Colour: Choosing your perfect Colour.
Understanding your skin tones, what you're trying to achieve, your personality, your lifestyle and passion is all part of what our Colourists will consider in selecting the right colour for you. We'll then discuss what we're trying to achieve for you and show you what you can expect with colour swatches and pictures. This is where the expertise of your Colourist will shine through. Often the target swatch colour is not the colour we apply to achieve the desired colour. We'll have to allow for your natural colour or previous hair colour and so will have to use colours either side of the target colour swatch - only experience of thousands of hair colours can deliver this. Every week we see hair colours which have been applied in other salons or at home which really don't suit the client and have not enhanced the client's look at all - if anything they have held back the client. A great hair colour should complement and enhance the client's look. This could mean getting more attention...
"I was catching the tube at Oxford Circus this evening and a bloke tapped me on the shoulder and said he liked my hair! And I had my hat covering half of it. (Blimey, he would have fallen over if he saw the whole thing ;)) Unbelievable! Thanks so much - it's so lovely again - makes me feel great!" - Sian xx
..or just helping you feel that bit more confident in yourself.
"I am so happy I have found a salon I can trust in, a stylist that makes me feel like a million dollars and definitely somewhere I will, and have already, recommended to friends and even strangers when they ask about my hair! Customer service first class, friendly atmosphere 10 out 10, ..my hero for the confidence I needed." - Lesley Mcneilo
With high customer expectations we always stock every single colour which Wella produces (as well a s a few they don't). This ensures that your hair colour choice is never compromised. Many salons will only stock a few of the most popular colours and will encourage you towards these easier colours. With ColourNation you can be confident that we'll only recommend the best colour for you and your hair. No Compromise, no waffle, just the best possible colour for you.
At ColourNation we've been Colouring Hair since 1993. During this time we've seen it all. Been asked for it all. And delivered it all. Always with our trademark relaxed yet professional approach. We want you to feel comfortable, relaxed and able to ask any questions you may have. From the very beginning we did not want to be one of those salons which intimidate clients into choices which are easiest for the stylist - we want you to choose colours which you'll love and cherish. With highlights for example we will always delivery multi-dimensional colours by mixing several complimentary colours to add depth for a real-life multi-dimensional look and all at no extra cost.
Why Colour your hair?
People colour their hair for many reasons for example, to look younger, for a change, to shake things up, to look slimmer, to cover grey, to improve your self confidence... what ever your reason we have the right hair colour for you.
Application: Hair Colour Magic
Application of the hair colour is critical. The right colour poorly applied will be a wash out. Our stylists know all the tricks of the trade, how, when and where to apply for the perfect result. Knowing how long to allow the colour to develop for, how and where to start removing the foils, how to colour the ends differently to the roots to achieve an even colour and how to fix colour disasters is all part of the art of a great colourist.

Types of Hair Colour
Hair Colour Highlights
As a colour specialist salon you can demand only the very best foil highlights from us. Foils are where sections of hair are highlighted or low lighted and wrapped in foil to develop. We combine several complimentary shades to produce life-like multi-dimensional colours which amaze and all at no extra charge. We weave the highlights through your hair to deliver truly stunning results. We use the very latest Wella Colours with our own expertise to develop bespoke colours just for you.
Hair Tint/Semi Tint
Hair Tints are one colour applied all over, to simply change your natural colour or cover grey. Getting the colour wrong, going too dark can cause problems because you might need to bleach or a colour stripper to lighten again. Far better to get the right colour first time. A Semi-tint is simply a tint which will wash out slowly over time.
Bleaching Hair
Bleach your hair to lighten it before toning to a desired shade or tinting to a lighter colour than your natural colour. It's important to use an expert to bleach your hair as over processing the hair by an unskilled stylist can cause damage and breakage. Our number one priority is to protect the health of your hair.
See below for a more detailed colour service list.
Can the right Hair Colour really be life changing?
The answer is yes, ...definitely. Changing your hair colour can enhance your natural beauty and give you the confidence to grab life. The results of a great hair colour can be truly amazing...

Hair Colour Patch Test
Hair colouring is a very safe process today but some people may have an allergic reaction, if you have any concerns, if this is your first visit to our salon, your first every hair colour or you've ever previously experienced an allergic reaction of any sort we recommend a Patch test which is available FREE of charge and without obligation please lets us know when booking. A patch test is simply a little hair colour applied behind the ears or at the elbow to test if there is any reaction. You must book in for a patch test at least 48 hours before you colour service so that any allergy has time to surface.

Types of hair colour available
There are several type of hair colour available:-
- Highlights - Full Head – All over highlights using foils and our state of the art Wella Hair Colour technology. A full Head of highlights will give you an amazing natural multi-dimensional look. We'll also (unlike most other salons) use more than one colour to achieve this look - we can easily mix shades lighter and darker to give you a real three dimensional natural look. You'll absolutely love it.
- Highlights Half Head – Half the amount of foils used for a full head of highlights. This will still give you the multi-dimensional look and again we'll use tones to blend your highlights.
- Highlights T-bar - Also known as a ¼ head where the central parting and front fringe colour is refreshed and highlighted (imagine a ‘T’ shape when seen from above). This is great if your roots are starting to show or you just want to refresh your look - everyone will think you just had another full head when really you just refreshed your colour.
- Floodlighting (1 foil) – one foil highlight added for dramatic effect - it's a great way to try out highlights to see if you like the idea. Highlights start here!
- Flying Colours – Freehand colour that is painted onto random pieces of hair suitable for shorter hair styles. This may also be known as a shoe shine and will normally last until the next cut. Again a great way to try out colour to see if it's for you.
- Tint - An all over permanent colour that lasts between 6-10 weeks. (Pssst, use this to cover gray hair.)
- Tint Re-growth - Colouring of roots after having a permanent tint to refresh the look.
- Semi-Tint - a semi permanent tint which will wash out after 8-10 washes - if you're scared of colour try this to see if you like it.
- Toner / Colour Balancing - sometimes the hair colours can need a little finesse to blend naturally into your existing hair colour - toner / colour balancing is our magic in these cases.
- Bleach - if you want very light coloured hair we can bleach your hair.
- Colour Correction / Change – changing colours or correcting a previous salon’s colours (or home colour attempt) can be time consuming and requires a great deal of skill. Results cannot be guaranteed because we won't always know exactly what has been used before. That said we can normally fix hair disasters.
- Combinations - Sometimes a combination of colour techniques may be needed to achieve your desired look. Highlights and a toner/ Colour Balancing, a bleach before trying a lighter colour on darker hair or a tint before highlights.
